What is Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus? Diagnosis and TreatmentThe term hydrocephalus is derived from the Greek words "hydro" meaning water and "cephalus" meaning head. The resulting pressure of the fluid against the brain tissue is what causes hydrocephalus. Normal pressure hydrocephalus most commonly occurs in the older patient. Symptoms include problems with walking, urinary frequency and/or incontinence and progressive mental impairment and/or dementia. Because some of these symptoms are also experienced in other disorders such as Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease and Creutzfeldt-Jacob disease, normal pressure hydrocephalus may be incorrectly diagnosed. Listen as Dr. Burke discusses the types of tests used to make an accurate diagnosis. Surgical treatment options also will be discussed.

Cell Phones & Brain Tumors: Should You Worry?In recent media coverage, cell phones and brain tumors are somehow ending up in the same sentence, making the discussion a hot topic. Is there a connection? Should we be concerned? There has been much speculation by members in the cancer community for some time, though research has not provided any evidence to support these claims.

Thompson, Director of the Vanderbilt Brain Tumor Center, weighs in on this controversial topic and helps us to separate the myths from the facts. Also joining us is Ezra Fitz, who underwent brain surgery at Vanderbilt. With no prior symptoms, Ezra and his family also had questions about the possibility of a cell phone link. Join us for a thought-provoking webcast as an expert and a patient discuss the possibility of a connection between cell phones and brain tumors.
